nansen-general-search is a Claude Code skill that runs Nansen CLI research search commands so developers who investigate crypto wallets and tokens can resolve addresses, symbols, and entity records from names.
About
nansen-general-search is an agent skill for the nansen-cli Node package that executes nansen research search with --type token or entity, optional --chain filters, and --fields selectors such as address, name, symbol, and chain. Developers reach for it when a token ticker or wallet label must become a canonical on-chain address before deeper Nansen analytics. The skill requires NANSEN_API_KEY in the environment and the nansen binary on PATH, with Bash scoped to nansen:* commands only.
- On-chain search
- Entity discovery
- Nansen CLI
- Cross-chain lookup

How do you find a token contract address by name?
Run broad Nansen CLI searches across wallets, tokens, labels, and transactions to discover entities and flows during early crypto research.
Who is it for?
Developers and analysts building crypto research agents who already have a Nansen API key and need name-to-address resolution.
Skip if: Teams without a Nansen subscription or workflows that only need price charts without on-chain entity resolution.
When should I use this skill?
User has a token name, ticker, or entity label and needs the full contract address or Nansen entity record.
What you get
Resolved token or entity addresses, symbols, chains, and labeled metadata rows from Nansen search output.
- token address rows
- entity match list
- chain-filtered search output
By the numbers
- Installs nansen binary via nansen-cli npm package
- Documents example --limit 5 for entity search results

|---|---|
--type | token or entity |
--chain | Filter by chain |
--limit | Number of results (default 25, max 50) |
--fields | Select specific output fields |
Case-insensitive. Does NOT match by address — use profiler labels for address lookup.
